Overuse of Technology Can Kill

We have an opioid crisis in America. How do I know that? Because irresponsible physicians are prescribing opioid drugs too loosely and due to the fact that some of my friends have been affected by this inhumane epidemic. It is de facto one of the biggest societal crises of our time. Listen to me: At the core, this is a crisis of overuse of Technology

The reality is that many of our children are becoming orphans and tons of Americans are dyeing every year because of hydrocodone, methadose, and oxycodone. Technology, ladies and gentleman, has been one of the main avenues to both distribute and consume these opioid prescriptions. Teens and other adults can now go to regular and encrypted websites, also known as the dark web, in order to get a hold of these drugs. How sad and dangerous. 

By the way, I’m not against people using the internet or prescription drugs to live a better life. I have a problem when technology starts making us live a worse life. 

Listen carefully: Technology has side effects like any other thing. Opioids are no exception as well as the mighty internet. As I always say, “use technology but in moderation” and if technology doesn’t make your live a better life, don’t use it! 

The proliferation of prescription drugs online is a real problem that can’t be ignored. All these technologies are causing so much pain in the live of so many. We need to so something about this. Overuse of technology and pain are one and the same.   

A dose of Morphine equals 222 ibuprofen, 360 aspirin and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is as strong as morphine. Oxycodone is 50% stronger than morphine. Methadone is 3 Times Stronger than morphine. Buprenorphine is 40 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is 50-100 times stronger than morphine! And the last… Carfentanil is 10 thousand times stronger than morphine. That’s a lot. 

Although the Prescription Drug Monitoring System (PDMP’s) monitors the distribution of drugs in the market for people’s safety, technology is making it more complicated for them to enforce their safe policies which is putting in danger the lives of millions of Americans every year. Overuse of technology is at the center of this problem. Get real — technology can kill.

We have an opioid crisis in America. Many of our children are becoming orphans and tons of Americans are dyeing every year because of technology overdose. We need to so something about this. Overuse of technology and pain are one and the same. If technology doesn’t make your live a better life, don’t use it! Get real — technology can kill.
